Dr. Noyan Aynechi is trained in pediatric sedation and hospital dentistry, ensuring that all children receive the dental care they need in a safe and controlled environment.

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help children relax during dental procedures. This can range from mild sedation (nitrous oxide) to moderate sedation (oral sedation) or deep sedation (IV sedation), depending on the child’s needs and the complexity of the procedure. Sedation dentistry is particularly beneficial for children with dental anxiety, special needs, or those undergoing extensive dental treatments.

Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Reduces Anxiety: Sedation helps alleviate fear and anxiety, making dental visits less stressful for children. This is especially important for children who have had negative experiences in the past or who are particularly fearful of dental procedures.

Comfortable Procedures: Sedation ensures that children remain comfortable and pain-free during treatments. This can improve cooperation and allow for more efficient and effective dental care.

Allows Complex Treatments: Sedation can be beneficial for children who require extensive dental work or have special needs. It allows Dr. Aynechi to perform necessary treatments in a single visit, reducing the need for multiple appointments.

Improves Cooperation: Sedation can help children who have difficulty sitting still, ensuring that necessary treatments can be completed efficiently. This is particularly important for young children or those with attention-related issues.

Types of Sedation

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative inhaled through a mask placed over the nose. It helps children relax while remaining awake and responsive. The effects wear off quickly, allowing your child to return to normal activities soon after the appointment.

Oral Sedation: Oral sedation involves administering a sedative medication in liquid or pill form before the procedure. This type of sedation helps children feel calm and drowsy, reducing anxiety and discomfort. The level of sedation can be adjusted based on the child’s needs and the complexity of the procedure.

IV Sedation: Intravenous (IV) sedation provides a deeper level of sedation, allowing children to sleep through the procedure. This type of sedation is administered through an IV line and is monitored closely by trained professionals to ensure safety and comfort.

Hospital Dentistry

In some cases, dental procedures may need to be performed in a hospital setting. This is often the best option for children with extensive dental needs, medical conditions, or severe dental anxiety. Dr. Aynechi has privileges at local hospitals, where she can provide comprehensive dental care in a safe and supportive environment.

Comprehensive Care: Hospital dentistry allows for comprehensive care, including multiple procedures in a single visit. This can be particularly beneficial for children with complex dental needs or those requiring extensive restorative work.

Medical Monitoring: In a hospital setting, children receive medical monitoring throughout the procedure, ensuring their safety and well-being. This is especially important for children with underlying medical conditions or those requiring deep sedation.

Collaborative Approach: Hospital dentistry involves collaboration with medical professionals, ensuring that all aspects of your child’s health are considered during treatment. This comprehensive approach ensures the best possible outcomes for your child’s dental and overall health.

When is Sedation or Hospital Dentistry Recommended?

Sedation and hospital dentistry are recommended for children who experience significant dental anxiety, have special needs, require extensive dental work, or have medical conditions that make in-office treatment challenging. Dr. Aynechi will assess your child’s individual needs and recommend the most appropriate approach to ensure their comfort and safety.
